Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

If you need a hand with the Val give me a buzz, had a few over the years. Pete's also a MOPAR fan too!

And in funnier news, just had a VS commodore go past my place sounding like a lawnmower with a foulded plug, actually i think the mower would've sounded better!

Heck yeah...go the Mopar.....here's mine back in the day

got car back today from weekend spray part 1

painted.jpg

need to straighten out my numberplate after the bashing its had...

am now rocking the wingless look for the next 7 days. got some racing tape over the spoiler holes.... wing has actually separated (being a 2 piece mould) and so the dude im using is getting the inside hollowed out to remove the excess resin, and putting in a fiberglass reinforcement. Sadly, he could not fix the n1 spoiler lip I purchased for $50 as it had a steel reinforcing rod underneath a rubber exterior, and the steel had rusted thru in several places and expanded due to rusting... oh well, you win some, you lose some...

Anything in particular that you really wished you kept along with some photos you can share?

Apart from that 6 Pack Pacer I had a really nice Porsche red Datsun 260Z 2+2......lots and lots of other cars too (prolly couple of dozen all up)

By chance did you sell that to a guy called Arthur that lives just off Port rd Pete?

LOL James, sold that centuries ago after blowing the Ford 9" Customline rear end at AIR.......met the guy at the Talbot Hotel and he was either one of the Richmond or Croydon crew from back in the day.

I bored the thing out .090" and put Chev 327ci pistons in it then decked the block to suit the lower gudgeon height.......bores were paper thin though and didn't like the warm weather unfortunately.

Car parts were so much cheaper in comparison to wages in those days so we could really experiment and it didn't matter if we blew things up......we'd have the engine in and out in 1 arvo after sinking a carton of Southwark Bitter, lol :):P

where'd ya front lip go ben?

I took it off 2 years ago. Where have you been?

It kept scraping shit and didnt line up with the contours of the side skirts and the rear

the lip looks good on cars that have the sides and pods to match, but I have stockers and want to keep the stock look

there is a reason why they generally paint that lower lip black - so people dont notice that its there..

but ignoring all that shit, i just like the look from the front without the lip. its more refined, more subtle, without losing any of the aesthetics of the original nismo bar

That's what I think too personally but each to their own :P

total nonsense

the gtr lip looks like a cowscoop attached to a train when the car is a) lowered and b) doesnt have the sideskirts to match

which incidentally the nismo lip came out before they thought of making nismo skirts and pods - they always painted the lower lip a dark color so it wouldnt be as noticable when people looked at the car as a whole...

and i totally reject the notion that the car is somehow lacking - you look at that front bar and tell me its lacking compared to any bitch arse softcock silvia or gtst bar >:) the bar works on its own yo, f**k a lip

adrian & luke = fail

-D

Edit and I have to add, that mismatched black bonnets look really really toy :P just my opinion tho, pay no heed
